[rain-is-studying]

30th and 31st August 2023

(Yes 2 daily logs in a row)

Today's goals

Complete one past paper for bio

Finish chemistry homework

Finish the 8th question for physics worksheet

Read about gas exchange for bio

Revise projectile motion

Speed run Python course

Figure out personal learning plan for French

Break-down and simplify some tasks (simplifying tasks literally helps a lot if you have too many things going on)

what I did for self-care:

Listened to music

did some journalling

looked for some study motivation

tried to plan for tomorrow

read a book i like

Binge-watched some anime (also Zoro got shut down 😭😭😭 how can I keep track of my anime now)

"I'm sighing in my dreams"

how are you guys?!?

I forgot to check my school messages lmao (I do online school), I woke up late opened my laptop and sat there waiting for the teachers to reply to my messages. Guess who forgot yesterday and today are holidays? I DID! Honestly, I was so stressed out but I started by reading some bio, then did my chemistry homework. After that, I met up with my tutor and studied Enzymes with her. Then I sat down again to do some speed running, looked into a webinar for my French learning and self-care and gosh it's tiring to be a student!

@pirrhyc sent:

Pelleas arrives at Micaiah's dorm room in the dead of the night, fresh off the boat that had ferried him back to Fódlan and then the carriage ride that had taken him back to Garreg Mach. He considers knocking on her door but then remembers the hour, settling instead for leaning against her door and waiting for a more normal hour to try, not disturbing her sleep. But in the end, he finds he dozes off. When the morning comes and she inevitably goes to open her door, the force of what he had been leaning against being taken out from behind him sends him careening back, jolting him awake as he unceremoniously flops onto the flooring of her room, staring up at her with now wide eyes and hair splayed on the ground beneath him. The suddenness of it robs him of his thoughts briefly, but after a moment, he clumsily speaks the first thing on his mind. “ I've missed you, Micaiah. ” A beat passes and a realization hits him however, and he begins to add onto that, pulling himself up off the ground as he speaks. “ S-Sorry, this was a bit, uh, strange, wasn't it? I know I was gone a lot longer than I told you though I would be. My apologies. I didn't mean to, I swear... Though I guess my word only means so much now, doesn't it? ” Upright and fussing with the hair at the nape of his neck, he gives her a sheepish smile, trying to figure out his words. “ In any case, I'm glad I finally got here in time. Now that we're both here together, happy birthday, Micaiah. ”  He takes out the wrapped present box he had tucked away in the inside pocket of his jacket and holds it out to her. Inside is a nondescript looking journal, but when one opens it, it is filled margin to margin in Pelleas's own handwriting. “ I know you seemed pretty interested in my cooking before, so I wrote down every recipe I've learned growing up and here at the monastery. I tried to suit them to your tastes though. I know we're not exactly the same, hahaha... There's a few recipes there for remedies too rather than meals. Growing up, I was pretty sickly, so I tried a lot of different things to help me. I don't know if you'd need them, but I figured you might just want to know them still, arrogant as that might make me. ” Micaiah knows plenty on her own that he's certain she didn't need his experiments and knowledge to get by just fine. She endeared people to her and could always learn no matter where she went.

But anything to get her to need to use Sacrifice a little less, just the same as she wished him to exhaust himself a little less too. It is just as much for the sake of those she wishes to heal as well as for her sake for survival in the long-term. She would live a long time regardless, but a part of him hoped to preserve her lifeline for as long as it might go. “ That way, even after I'm long gone one day, you'll still have me. When you help people, I want to be by your side. I want to feel as if I'm helping you and them both, Micaiah. ”  A lifeline that, if everything went as it ought to, would far outlive his own. “ ...Might I? ”

In general, Micaiah is not used to nearly tripping over other people; much less people right outside her bedroom door, and certainly not her rather tall fiancé.

She wants to sternly remind him he has a key for a reason, but having just averted disaster and with him looking up at her like that she finds she rather does not have it in her. She had missed him too.

“It’s alright,” Micaiah says, sitting down next to him once he’s righted himself, “for everything,” she adds, “after all, I trust you.” 

She accepts the present with a smile, beginning to open it up just as Pelleas starts in on explanations - a routine she can say she loves just as much if not more than his thoughtful gifts.

“Every single one?” She marveled. “I knew you had an impressive memory, but this goes beyond that. Some of these surely you had to have come up with on your own…”

Micaiah’s writing is detailed and intricate because she has had so many years of practice inscribing with the ancient tongue and modern alike; she knows it was not the same for Pelleas. It is for this reason every one of his messages he has penned to her is a gift she has kept to this day.

“We both have talked of our faults but this is hardly arrogance,” she says gently, and then he continues on as if having looked into her heart:

even after I'm long gone one day, you'll still have me

She nods rapidly once she realizes he’s turned it into a question, not trusting herself to speak. They want the same thing after all - they’ve always seemed to, just never knowing how to express it.

She sets the journal aside gently and falls into his arms: “of course, I want you with me. Always.”

She may not have had wings on her back but she imagines if she did, they would feel like the weight of that word. There were so many people Micaiah would never let herself forget - Pelleas chief among them.

It was alright if she couldn’t fly, she’d learned to love this small center of gravity all her own.

“Thank you, Pelleas,” she says, content to say in his embrace so long as he is holding her there, “it is a wonderful gift.”

Chapter 4: A Glimpse into the Future

Continual Learning:

As I prepare to graduate high school and venture into higher education, my journey with C, C++, and Python has instilled in me the importance of continual learning. The field of computer science is dynamic, and staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and trends is crucial.

Networking and Collaboration:

I've also come to appreciate the significance of networking and collaboration in the computer science community. Joining online forums, participating in coding challenges, and collaborating on open-source projects have enriched my learning experience.

Conclusion: Embracing the World of Computer Science

My journey as a 12th-grader exploring C, C++, and Python has been an enlightening experience. These languages have not only improved my computer science profile but have also given me a broader perspective on problem-solving and technology. As I step into the future, I'm excited to see where this journey will take me, and I'm ready to embrace the ever-evolving world of computer science.

If you're a fellow student or someone curious about programming, I encourage you to take the plunge and start your own journey. With determination and a willingness to learn, the world of computer science is yours to explore and conquer.

Programming Professor: "As engineers we don't have to worry about this."

What You Say Matters

Every time someone made fun of him, he'd feel a pang in his head that would ripple to the rest of his body. It was getting harder and harder to focus in class, his eyes drifting to the other guys. Focusing on their muscles as they moved, their white perfect smiles, their towering height. It was absolutely unbearable. In between classes would be extra embarrassing because he'd be chubbed looking at all the guys in the hallway, which only led to more harassment.

But as the months went by and summer came, people stopped mocking him and making fun of him - but he didn't notice that. Every time someone made fun of him for his height, he'd grow an inch or two. Every time someone made fun of his fat, he'd shed a pound and put on a bit of muscle. Everytime someone called him ugly, his face would become more symmetrical and his crooked teeth would fix.

On the last day of school he towered over the other students at 6'10". His gigantic bodybuilder body barely fitting into the doorways. Everyone was completely captivated by him, no matter what their sexuality was- everyone couldn't get enough of him. It was common place for him to tent in his shorts, a huge 18 inch throbbing soda can thick python, and no one react. The desks that he sat at would have pre stained on the underside of them, and those desks were worshiped like the commandments.

Anyone he wanted was at his fingertips, and as far as he knew- this had been his life forever.

*screaming*

*continued screaming*

Okay. So. My introductory Visual C# class.

The professor for that class was Alice. Alice was the person who spoke in the introductory video and the person who we were supposed to email if we had any issues.

But all of the assignments, lectures, and quizzes were written and delivered by Bob. On the youtube channel "Bob's programming academy." The quizzes included Bob's name, like "if you do X will it return the string ProfessorBob, Professor, Bob, or Professor.Bob?"

This class was really frustrating for me because it was structured in such a way that you could easily pass the class with zero knowledge of the subject - it was totally based on quizzes that you could take an unlimited number of times and we *had* weekly programming assignments but they weren't graded so there was no incentive to do them (and look, if I wanted to teach myself programming with no incentives I could fail for several years to do that on my own, I don't need to pay fifty bucks a unit for that; the reason I am in a *class* and am not self-taught is because I need external motivation. That's why I sought out a class).

Also when there *was* a problem with an instruction that was unclear in one of the videos for the assignments, or if I thought I'd done something correctly that was very much incorrect, it wasn't Alice who had created the instructions, it was Bob - in 2017 no less - and I didn't really feel like I could ask Alice for help with an ungraded assignment that she hadn't written.

So. Now. My Python class.

Today is the first day of class. Professor is Charles.

I go to the mandatory attendance quiz and it is word-for-word the same mandatory attendance quiz as the C# class, down to the final question "what is your personal email address so I can keep in contact with you after the semester?"

I look at the syllabus.

Class grade is based on quizzes. We have assignments but none of them are graded. There's no textbook, just a series of videos from Professor Bob's Programming Academy.

So I'd been toying with staying at this school and trying to take more CS classes instead of going to another school, just to try to keep my records easier to manage, but since it seems like that *ENTIRE DEPARTMENT* is five Professor Bobs in a trenchcoat, I will probably be going somewhere else (and once again trying to force myself to do projects that I already know are *good for me to do* but *useless for the class and a massive time suck*)

I should drop this class. I should drop this class and apply for the other school so that I can start taking classes there in the spring because if I take this class and then go into the object oriented programming class in the spring and it's another professor bob sock puppet and I end up taking twelve units of programming classes where all I learn is how to google answers in a short time frame (something I already know how to do thanks) I am going to fucking lose it.

Also, again: I have a Bachelor's Degree. I spent five years at a community college when I was getting that degree. I took probably a dozen online classes starting in 2005 and going until 2011 in the process of getting that degree.

THIS bullshit, this "I'm your professor but actually I'm not and all the materials were created by someone else in the department or came directly from the textbook publisher and there is no writing and there are no assignments everything is multiple choice quizzes that are automatically graded" is *dogshit.*

This is NOT how online classes worked back in my day, not even online math classes, and as much as I know adjuncts are getting fucked over by academia in general, this isn't something that these professors should be getting paid as much as they are to do. Alice checked whether or not students turned in a hello world assignment and gave a pass/fail grades for three discussion boards that were responses to youtube videos. Nothing else in the class required her input. If this is the level of instruction that students are getting then the class is already automated and the students shouldn't have to pay for it.

This is crap. This is an incredible level of crap.

Writing Notes: Guilt by Association

Guilt by Association - moral guilt or unfitness presumed to exist on the basis of one's known associations

Guilt by Association Fallacy

Occurs when someone connects an opponent to a demonized group of people or to a bad person in order to discredit his or her argument.

The idea is that the person is “guilty” by simply being similar to or associated with this “bad” group and, therefore, their arguments should be disregarded.

Example:  We cannot have the educational reform that my opponent calls for because Dr. Corrupt has also mentioned this kind of educational reform.

This is the fallacy of trying to refute or condemn someone's standpoint, arguments or actions by evoking the negative ethos of those with whom the speaker is identified or of a group, party, religion or race to which he or she belongs or was once associated with.

It is a form of Ad Hominem Argument, e.g., "Don't listen to her. She's a Republican so you can't trust anything she says," or "Are you or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?" 

An extreme instance of this is the Machiavellian "For my enemies, nothing" Fallacy, where real or perceived "enemies" are by definition always wrong and must be conceded nothing, not even the time of day, e.g., "He's a Republican, so even if he said the sky is blue, I wouldn't believe him."

Guilt by association fallacies can often work in concert with hasty generalization or ad hominem fallacies, especially when they’re used to attack a specific group of people.

While guilt by association fallacies often include unfair stereotypes, this is not always the case.

Guilt by association can even be factually accurate.

For example, imagine two politicians both support a bill for free school lunches. However, one of these politicians has a known history of corruption. Despite being based on fact, it would still be illogical to use the corrupt politician as a means to discredit the second politician and their ideas.

"Guilt by Association Gag" Trope

In a comedy, when a bunch of characters are subject to some kind of punishment or awful revenge, there will often be exactly one character who doesn't deserve it.

No matter how much this character voices his objection, he will never be recognized as an exception.

He must suffer with everyone else.

Examples

In one episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog, Eustace swindled Shirley the Medium out of a necklace for Muriel by giving her an oil bill he claimed was a deed to an oil well. In response, Shirley put a swindling curse on both him and Muriel, even though Muriel was completely innocent of the scam.

Near the beginning of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a man is loaded onto a cart full of dead plague victims. When he insists he's "not quite dead yet" and attempts to leave, the cart-pusher refuses to take him at first, but the man who brought him slips the cart-pusher some money. A hefty whack from his cudgel and the man wasn't complaining anymore.

Schools often employ this tactic to keep students under control in chaotic classrooms, much to the chagrin of well-behaved students. It's become something of a Discredited Trope, as teachers have gradually come to realize that the badly-behaved students often enjoy getting their more well-behaved peers punished for no reason, and can actually cause the ones who normally behave to start being disruptive themselves once they realize they're going to be punished either way.

In the Spongebob Squarepants episode "Big Sister Sam", Squidward insults Patrick's elder sister, which causes her to cry. In response, Patrick shames both Squidward and SpongeBob, even though SpongeBob has just been standing there watching the whole thing.

The Simpsons: "Simpsons Bible Stories" ends with the Rapture. The Simpsons are to be sent to Hell… except Lisa, who is pulled heavenward in a beam of glorious light. Disturbingly, Homer is able to reach up and pull her down to hell with them, saying "Where do you think you're going, Missy?"

(fan game) life is strange: lost and found!!!!!

hey guys!

so i've been planning a sort of visual novel game recently which will build on a python game that i made that allows you to go to blackwell and meet a bunch of characters :) it would include a lot of choices and consequences -- a bit like Love is Strange! i love that game but i wanted to avoid something too similar, so here's the general idea for mine:

play as a student in blackwell at the start of the new school year -- everyone else is new, so you can make friends and meet a bunch of people!

the core characters you could meet would be max, chloe, rachel, kate, warren and victoria, though if i finish, i might add more people! :) [such as steph and dana]

the first week is composed of a few different subjects which you get to try out, and work with a partner (of your choice!!!) to complete your lesson tasks

there's a prom coming up in a couple of days! you get to ask a character if they'd like to go with you :)

since it's just me working on it as a fun project, it's a little less ambitious than Love is Strange, haha :D but i hope it'll be fun to play when complete! also your choices totally impact your outcome ^^ the next couple of months are unfortunately horrendously busy but i hope i can find time to work on it, and i'll post updates!

lo and behold, the game so far. it looks like a mess because it is! i'm just using images from google (the text box is from animal crossing) for now to figure out the story haha :D

bonus: a kate marsh sprite! :)

... okay in retrospect i gotta resize the sprites somehow... this girl fills like the whole damn screen

(if anyone is wondering i did change the title since 'welcome to blackwell' is also the name of an official LiS book you can buy haha :))

[r-aindr0p]

Messy doodle dump of my twst non yuu ocs, there’s two that I havent shown before. Mainly did this to have one approximate ref sheet instead of many scattered here and there.

The ones with no family names are not twisted from any character, just guys

And the python vibin at diasomnia in his uh, own ways

More useless info on some of them :

Jean doesn’t seem to be able to grow his hair nice and long

Knows Verdant and Marius from primary school

He’s a rowdy guy but since he’s at heartslabyul he has been behaving (thanks Riddle)

Yes Leona does absolutely ignore him, Jean’s even more of an annoying cub than cheka mentally sometimes

Aak is probably the tallest student if malleus’ dragon form is not taken into account

His useless talent is he can swallow swords

Has bitten many students for funsies (tweels included)

Is a python, thus, a great swimmer in snake form

Verdant is just a lil guy who is eager to be of service

Marius mainly sneaks out of RSA to check on Verdant since Jean used to pick on the lil snake

Michel is a salty guy, probably not as salty as Rollo but not far

Petty with anyone really

Is a fae, his parents are weirdly obsessed with humans and live in fleur city and do just as them, using magic scarcely.

They wanted their son to have his ears changed to appear human like they did but Michel refused and pursued his studies as a mage.
